The Diary of Cameron Locke

Chapter 7: The End

May 15th, 2017

Mom and dad have still not shut up about how well Jasper and I compliment each other and how glad they are that we're dating now. This is just so gross to put up with, but I gotta tough it out if I don't want to move states. Still, this is all just so... weird. I view Jasper as a brother and I know he views me as more of a sister, so it's weird to pretend to be dating him.

July 4th, 2017

The fireworks were nice tonight. Jasper, Noori, and me all went to a park to hang out and watch some fireworks there. It was pretty cool. Afterwards, we just went back to their place to hang out since I was able to stay the night with them.

July 30th, 2017

Ha! Managed to sneak a trip over to Ryan's without mom and dad noticing. Noori and Jasper helped, too, of course and also came along. Managed to do this through the fact that they wanted to visit one of their family members that just happened to live near Ryan, so we were able to hop over there for a bit to visit. His kids just keep getting cuter every time I see them! I kinda wonder if I would ever adopt kids at some point, since there's no way I'd be having any of my own.

Yay, I can finally get my driver's license! Now I can actually drive to places I want instead of having to work around other people's schedules! Mom and dad even got me a new car! Though, they said it was gonna have to count as my Christmas present as well since it took a healthy chunk out of their budget, Oh well, I like it!

November 23, 2017

Thanksgiving was nice! I went over to Noori and Jasper's house to celebrate--after all, I'm 'dating' Jasper, so to my parents, I can celebrate at their house if I want-- and it was so fun! We watched the parade and helped cook and the food was great! It was also nice being able to get away from my parents for now. They've been hounding me, trying to figure out how far Jasper and I are in our relationship. To be honest, we still hadn't gone beyond anything than just snuggling and acting all cheesy while mom and dad are around. Not like we want to go any further, anyways.

January 1st, 2018

Well, here's another thing to keep from mom and dad; Noori was my New Year's kiss tonight. I don't know how or why it happened, but when the clock struck midnight, we found ourselves kissing. It was... really nice. Though, we did talk afterwards and agreed to keep the kiss between us for now.

January 15th, 2018

Things between me and Noori have gotten a lot more affectionate since the kiss on New Year's... at least while nobody except us, Jasper, and sometimes Ryan are around. Are... are Noori and I dating now? I'm gonna have to ask her about this...

February 14th, 2018

Heh, how funny... I finally managed to get the courage to ask Noori about if we were dating today.. on Valentine's Day. Anyways, she said we could if I wanted to, but she wanted me to come clean to my parents about my sexuality and the fact that I'd only been pretending to date Jasper before making it official. Though, she also said we could still be affectionate with each other when no one else was around. Ughhhhhhh, why does my love life have to be so complicated? Am I in some sort of cheesy romance novel?

March 15th, 2018

I need to find a better hiding spot for my diary... mom and dad nearly found it today while helping me 'clean' my room (I think they were just using itto search for any incriminating evidence against me for something I did) and there's no doubt they'd read through it if they did find it.

April 30th, 2018

Man, I love my camera and the fact I'm on the yearbook staff. I get to talk to so many cute girls and sometimes I'll be able to even take their picture as well. Sure, I love Noori, but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to find other girls cute, too, especially since we aren't officially dating. Besides, I know there have been plenty of times, even recently, where Noori's rambled about a cute person she saw in class.

July 17th, 2018

I think mom and dad are getting suspicious that there's something more happening between me and Noori... or me and Jasper besides the show of cuddling and overall affection we put on for them. They're always asking me this nitty gritty details about what exactly I was doing almost every time I go over and spend the night at their house.

October 6th, 2018

One more year... one more year and I'll finally be able to move out of my house and be free to express who I really am... though, at the same time... I want to tell mom and dad. I don't like that I've lied to them about so many things for so long. They really are great parents, but it's just... I don't know how they'd react to knowing about the lies I've told them. And I think the fact that I still haven't told mom and dad about all of this yet is upsetting Noori as well... yet, I can tell she's at least trying to understand my mentality and position on this.

October 18th, 2018

Noori told me she wants to be a tattoo artist at Ryan's shop. She thinks it's a pretty cool place. Honestly, I think that'd be a great career for her. She's always drawing different designs and they all look so great!

November 30th, 2018

Well, my dear diary, I came clean to mom and dad. I just handed this book to them and let them read through it. And surprisingly enough, they apologized for all the stuff they've done just out of anger and ignorance. They even broke down and cried. I guess even adults make mistakes and say unintentionally offensive things without realizing it. It actually felt... nice to be able to talk to them about all of this. Now I know that my future is going to look a lot better.

A/N: Aaaaaaannnnd, scene! It is now November 30th and this month-long project has come to an end! Thanks so much for reading, everyone!

Though, a quick notes on the end of this series:

Yes, I know this ending was rather picture perfect and I know not all LGBTQ+ people have this sort of ending. But! This is the story of a character of my own creation and it was a long journey for her to be able to get to this far. I wanted to give this type of ending to Cam because, while it seems picture perfect now, she still has a lot to face as she grows. Keep in mind, she's only seventeen years old at the moment, so she still has a ways to go.

Anyways, I sincerely hope y'all enjoyed this and I'll have the character sheet for Cam (and possibly Noori and Jasper, too, depending on if my brain'll cooperate with me) posted tomorrow as a bit of a bonus!
